Question 1173 in the bank

What is the maximum number of passengers a taxi driver is permitted to carry?

  1. The number of passengers he may drive is unlimited.
  2. 12 besides the driver.
  3. Correct answer: As the number of passengers that is indicated in the vehicle’s registration documents.
  4. 15 besides the driver.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: As the number of passengers that is indicated in the vehicle’s registration documents.

The number of passengers allowed in any vehicle, a taxi included, is set by what is written in the vehicle's registration documents. The number depends on the vehicle's structure and its number of seats, so there is no single fixed number for all taxis. It is forbidden to carry more passengers than the number in the registration documents, even if there seems to be room in the vehicle.
